Health Insurance Ads Starring Billy Mays Pulled

We can't really blame them. Who wants to see an ad about living life worry-free from a dead man?

Billy Mays had done a string of commercials for the iCAN benefit group before he died, but now the company is pulling the ads off the air. Though they have been given the blessing of the Mays family to continue running them, the company has decided to try a new direction.

Yeah, we're going to have to agree with that. The ironic, morbid undertones of the commercials would be bad for business.

Oh, and then there's that whole cocaine thing!
